I recently completed a trip to China from the UK all the way by train, 7,650 miles !
I entered China the best way possible, on the Trans-Siberian Railway coming from Moscow, though the Mongolian Steppes, across the Gobi Desert, alongside The Great Wall of China for many miles before entering Beijing - I then went on by train to Shanghai. The Great Wall was great but also the surrounding countryside was spectacular. Beijing was disappointing but Shanghai made up for it -
